Marston, P M

History suggests that the participants in the gas industry, including the regulators, may have to wrestle with the economic and equitable imperatives of industrial natural gas pricing under changing market conditions for some time to come. The author traces the developing of natural gas prices, regulation, and the current deregulation from a regulators point of view. He notes a return to flexible pricing for unregulated fuels, as well as the development of downstream storage capability, major changes in the nature of industrial uses, and changes in the type of competition over the past 50 years.
